If you’d told me at the beginning of the year that rap sensation Nicki Minaj would deliver a speech in front of the United Nations, speaking up for persecuted Christians in Nigeria, I would’ve laughed in your face. This wasn’t something I had on my 2025 Bingo card. And yet...she did it.
Minaj spoke at the United Nations headquarters on Tuesday and sat down with U.S. Ambassador to the UN Mike Waltz. She thanked Waltz for inviting her to discuss the persecution of Christians in Nigeria after she praised President Donald Trump earlier this month for standing up and taking the "mass slaughter" of Christians in Nigeria seriously.
“It is an honor to stand on this stage with you and the other distinguished speakers here today to shine a spotlight on the deadly threat facing thousands of Christians in Nigeria,” Minaj declared during her speech. “I would like to thank President Trump for prioritizing this issue, for leading on the global stage, and for calling for urgent action to defend Christians in Nigeria, combat extremism, and stop violence against those who simply want to exercise their natural right to freedom of religion or belief.”
The rap star then explained that she felt a "deep sense of gratitude" that Americans can "live in a country where we can freely and safely worship God, regardless of one's creed, background, or politics." To say my chin hit the floor when I read the "Anaconda" singer's comments would be an understatement. You just don’t hear mainstream artists praise the U.S., let alone Christianity, anymore. The fact that Minaj spoke so freely genuinely blows my mind.
“No group should ever face persecution for practicing their religion — like I recently stated on social media,” Minaj continued.

Another FR post mentioned how faith helped her father recover from addiction.
A divided church has lost its voice and influence. So why not have a whore delivering such remarks?
I was happy to see her do that. She was criticized for voicing approval and support of President Trump aggressively defending the Nigerian Christian groups that are being tortured and slaughtered, with the Nigerian government appearing to look the other way.
Millions of young people may have thought about this carnage for the very first time, only because a familiar Rapper/ Entertainer has brought the topic up for open discussion. I was pleased (and somewhat relieved) that for this important engagement, Nikki was properly dressed, not done up in her usual way, like a Stripper.
RE: So why not have a whore delivering such remarks?
Didn’t Jesus sit with sinners of all kinds?
Forgive us as we forgive?
She is worth between $130 and $190.5 Million Dollars,
and that’s with her shoes on!
Hebrews 11:31 ESV /
By faith Rahab the prostitute did not perish with those who were disobedient, because she had given a friendly welcome to the spies.
James 2:25 ESV /
And in the same way was not also Rahab the prostitute justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out by another way?
Matthew 1:1-25 ESV /
The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham…Salmon the father of Boaz by Rahab, and Boaz the father of Obed by Ruth, and Obed the father of Jesse...
She took a lot of flack for posting on this same topic on social media. And then told the ones criticizing her to unfollow her if it bothers them.
You can see by the way she is dressed that she takes this seriously and not dressed to draw attention to herself. Give credit where credit is due.
I am NOT a fan of her or her music, but she clearly is on the right side here and should be applauded for speaking up. She reaches a lot of people that may make a difference for good on this subject.
Amen. God be with her.
I missed the part where she repented.
